The old 101-to-1 club sign was rescued by executives at Santa Anita from the razed bar and now holds a prominent position at the new 100-1 club at the race track.

hen Arcadia icon, the 100 to 1 Club, closed, it seemed another bit of Arcadia’s past would be lost. Enter Pete Siberell, the Director of Community Service and Special Projects at Santa Anita Race Track.
He purchased the iconic neon sign that had signaled the way across the street from the track to the club. He then had the sign restored and it now the centerpiece of the new 100 to 1 Club at Santa Anita.
Like the sign, the space itself has been refurbished in a manner the architect who has reworked many areas of the track, Pavel Gertov, calls “historic repurposing.” It is clear that the area now better suits modern uses. The
club is open and multi-leveled. Gertov replaced the solid half wall at the front of the club with glass so that there is now an unobstructed

Uncle Declared Incompetent to Defend Himself for Murdering Arcadia Teenagers
A man accused of killing his two teenage nephews in their Arcadia home last January and then fleeing the country appeared in Mental Health Court last week and is
BY TERRY MILLER tentatively deemed incompetent to stand trial, at least for now. According to Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Ricardo Santiago,
the criminal proceedings are “on pause” while the mental health experts do a complete evaluation of Deyun Shi, 44. Shi was named as a suspect after his two nephews,
ages 15 and 16, were found murdered inside their home on Thursday on the 400 block of Fairview Avenue. Deyun Shi of San Gabriel initially entered a “not guilty”
plea during his third appearance at Pasadena Superior Court on Wednesday morning, May 18. The delay was caused due to funds being transferred from China for
his defense. Shi is accused of killing 15-year-old Anthony Lin and 16-year-old William Lin on SEE PAGE 6

Hundreds Share ‘Pure Love and Kindness’ in Pasadena Women’s Rally Hundreds of thousands mobilize in Los Angeles and across the world Article and Photo By Malak Habbak The sun shined on Saturday as hundreds convened at Pasadena for a Women’s Rally and later at a Women’s March in downtown Los Angeles, one of nearly 50 in the state and 673 across the globe. Event organizers encouraged the public to
join existing local organizations– quoting former President Barack Obama on their Facebook page– to “restore the sense of common purpose that we so badly need right now.” “I think this presidency sort of was the straw that broke the camel’s back,”

said Monrovia Resident Donna Baker, who met up with her sister Rose McCabe and friends Cathy McCallum, Isabel Cobos Houser and Mary Ann Lutz in Pasadena. Baker, who witnessed the second-wave feminist movement in her teenage
years, had participated in anti-nuclear protests during the 1970s and 1980s and the Greenpeace campaign against the clubbing of baby seals off Canada’s Newfoundland and Labrador coastal regions. Yet Saturday’s event seemed one of her biggest priorities. “We’re all humans when you cut right to the chase,” she said. Irma Cooper, a speaker at the Women’s March and president of LA’s Chapter of The National Association of Black Military Women, said the country has been seeing progress, “but it is slow.” Cooper, who served in the United States military for 30 years as a registered nurse, recalls the days women were not allowed to command hospital units. “That was a great achievement when women were starting to command,” said Cooper, whose first command in California was the largest in the state with over 5,000 soldiers.
“We are not against [President Donald Trump] but we want to make clear [we] have a voice and our voice will be stronger as we unite.” The 2016 presidential election was a “tragedy” for McCallum, a 66-yearold Monrovia resident. On election night, her 25-year-old daughter Julia Fouser sent her a chilling text, “I’m going to lose my healthcare.”
“I’ve never seen people in a group size that big being so nice to each other,” said McCallum, who had not attended a protest since the Vietnam War. McCallum waved back briskly to gleeful children whose faces were glued to the windows aboard the trains. To read more of Malak’s story please go to: www.pasadenaindependent.com

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale According to industry experts, there are several physical problems that will come under scrutiny during inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of
these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into
costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-300-4632 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

sas, which ranked 1st in US News and World Reports for city management and urban policy. Trinidad, Colo. Mayor Phil Rico spoke highly of Gabe and his contribution to Trinidad as its City Manager, sharing that, "He is a good man and we don't want to lose him. He will be invaluable to another community and I'm not happy to see him go." Similarly, Assistant City Manager Audra Garrett, describes Gabe as "brilliant," stating that "he's done so much for the City ... he certainly will have left us in a much better position than he found us." Mayor Gene Goss, on behalf of the entire City Council stated, "I am very excited that the City Council is considering the hiring of Mr. Engeland. He will bring to our City the optimum combination of education, experience and leadership qualities. Sierra Madre is very fortunate that he has agreed to serve our community."

Recycle Used Oil & Filters!
Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threaten fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Reader Comments on ’Police Make Changes to Overnight ...’ (12/30/09 Issue) The real question is what legal remedy do we have as residents to get this law changed? Who do we need to vote out and can we file a class action civil lawsuit against the city or the police department for the predatory conduct? There needs to be some grace, and residents should have some option to receive guest passes or something. At the very least there needs to be signage beyond claiming its at the entrance to the city. The city wants to pad their pockets and their first and best option is to milk the residents? Unreal. People are being ticketed while unloading their cars or stopping to run in the house briefly before leaving again. That is predatory,does not constitute overnight parking, and is milking the residents of Arcadia.

Reader Replies to ‘Rep. Chu Joins Growing List Not Attending Inauguration of Trump’ (1/19/17 Issue)
Rep. Judy Chu’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration reminds me of the renowned American painter Andrew Wyeth, who declined an invitation by Richard Nixon to be his guest at a state banquet. How gratifying it is to see that Judy’s integrity doesn’t crumble like a lump of sugar when encountering overwhelming power. But instead, by the strength of her principles, she remains firm like a granite boulder. If the Honorable Judy Chu were to enter into a room where everyone is sitting, I’d be among the first to stand. - David Quintero Monrovia

GROUND BREAKING FORECLOSURE RULING! The California Supreme Court ruled on February 18, 2016 that a homeowner has the right to challenge his lender's authority to foreclose based upon void assignments of the loan to third parties. The high court expressly upheld an earlier California Appellate opinion called Glaski v Bank of America. This decision could set aside many foreclosures and/or obtain monetary damages, settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place. This decision will hopefully provide our firm with even more legal leverage to not only set aside many foreclosures and /or obtain money damages, but settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place.

Jan. 22, 2016. The defense raised the issue of Shi’s mental competency in July which put the criminal case on hold pending further evaluation. In addition to two counts of murder, the prosecution has also charged Shi with injuring his estranged wife, Yujing Lin, on Jan. 21 of

States. Shi is being held without bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. “The criminal case has been continued into midApril to see how Mr. Shi is doing. Mr. Shi was declared incompetent to stand trial,” Shi’s attorney Vicki I. Pod-
beresky, told Arcadia Weekly Monday. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office could not confirm or deny that Deyun Shi was transferred to Patton State Hospital where such cases are usually treated. The next court appearance is slated for Feb. 15, but Shi is not expected to appear.
view of both the track and the San Gabriel Mountains. However, in keeping with the historic nature of Santa Anita, Gertov even opened up the ceiling in one area to reveal the underside of the metal roof. This signature element of the track, the green sweeping roof, can now be seen from below. Gertov calls these the bones of the building. The new look seems to be appreciated by those attending the opening day for the newest element at Santa Anita. Among those who gathered to celebrate the return of the 100 to 1 sign were Brian Carney, the last owner of the old club and Barbara Skinner, the woman who managed that club for its last 20 years. They were pleased with the tribute the track was paying to the place they had loved. “I’m sorry we had to let the old place go,” Carney said, “but it is not completely gone.” Skinner, too, praised the new location as she was greeted by people, who jokingly calling out bar orders to her. She had often worked as one of the old clubs bartenders. Several demanded to know if she planned to work
at the new club. Her joking response was: “Sure, if they will have me.” Overheard comments were enlightening: “At least here, you don't stick to the floor (a reference to the old carpet at the old 100 to 1 Club). The air here smells a lot better, as the club predated the California smoking ban and the walls and fabrics still retain the tell-tale odor of ancient smoke. One element remains the same, the interaction of people in the area. As Carney said of the old club, “The richest and poorest people in the world would sit side by side and sing karaoke.” That same interaction of people is evident here as well. This is by design, as Gertov explained, “Modern needs are different. The high-tech elements are needed,” evident here in the screens that dot the walls shows not just to show what is happening at Santa Anita, but at other tracks as well, “but need for social interaction is also required.” In this space he raised some portions of the club to create a terraced feel with spaces for conversation as well as viewing the races going on below.

According to the National Catholic Educational Association, national test scores, high school graduation rates, college attendance and other data show that Catholic schools’ faith--lled educational programs frequently outperform schools in both the public and private sectors. Beacon Media’s Spotlight on Catholic Schools Week highlights Catholic schools in the San Gabriel Valley to share information with our thousands of readers, followers and page viewers about programs and events surrounding this year’s special week.
Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy By May Ruiz
L
ocated on 45 acres of land in La Canada, Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy (FSHA) is housed in a magnificent hilltop missionstyle cluster of buildings with stunning views of Pasadena and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley. It’s an inspiring vantage point from which high school students receive an unparalleled Catholic education and training. FSHA was established in 1931 by the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose to educate young women for a life of faith, integrity, and truth. This college-preparatory independent school was founded on the pillars of Dominican practice which constitutes an integrated life of study, prayer, service, and community.
Since its founding almost 86 years ago, to this day, FSHA has been run by Dominican Sisters who reside on campus and work in the school. There are currently 10 Dominican Sisters who live on campus and they make up the Flintridge Sacred Heart Priory. They perform a variety of jobs, including serving as faculty, staff or administrators at the school, or work outside as pastoral advisors or social workers. Originally a boarding school, FSHA started accepting day students in 1952, phasing out the elementary grades and becoming exclusively a high school to prepare young women for college application and the demands of university life. Today Flintridge Sacred Heart has a total enrollment

of 392 – 330 of whom are day students; 62 are boarding students or 16 percent of the student body. On any given year the school receives from 60 to 70 global applicants who heard about FSHA through its vast network of international
contacts, online resources, events hosted in their home country or word of mouth. Acceptance is based on academic performance, English language skills, recommendations, interviews, and overall fit at FSHA.
Most of its international students attend for four years starting in ninth grade. These students typically matriculate to four-year U.S. universities after graduation. FSHA’s class of 2016 had 99 seniors – with 12 boarding students. FSHA has a truly geographically diverse enrollment. While a majority of students come from the nearby communities in the San Gabriel Valley, it also draws from as far as Newport Beach, Malibu, and Simi Valley. And last year, the school’s international students hailed from nine different countries. A rigorous curriculum of English, Math, Science, Social Studies, History, Visual and Performing Arts, and World Languages challenges the minds of young women. FSHA’s College Counseling De-
partment recently expanded its programming to ninth and tenth grades so by the time students reach eleventh grade, they have become competitive applicants. It hosts admissions recruiters on campus throughout the year. Twice a year counselors take students on college visits with an east coast and a west coast trip. International students receive personalized attention. College counselors hold meetings in the evenings in the boarding hall during the fall semester to give advice on their applications and specific forms. The class of 2016 matriculated to such highly selective universities as Boston University, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, NYU, Northeastern, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and Vanderbilt.

he philosophy and spirituality of Cornelia Connelly, which starts in the junior school, continues through the high school program of Mayfield Senior School (MSS). An independent college-preparatory school for young women, it is committed to academic excellence within the context of Christian values. Mayfield fosters students’ intellectual, spiritual, artistic, emotional, and physical gifts, empowering them to render service to others and make a difference in the world. As head of school, Kate Morin, remarks, “As we begin our second semester I can see so many of our students’ gifts coming alive. My favorite part of the day is seeing them joyfully engaged on campus, whether it’s a calculus class, playing their hearts out at a game, or performing on the stage or in the studio.” An academic program that cultivates a thirst for learning and challenges students to reach beyond themselves is a hallmark of a Mayfield education.

It often becomes the impetus for many to establish their own service
program. Indeed, the measure of a Mayfield education goes beyond cumulative grade point averages, test scores and academic success. Being a Mayfield student means having empathy for others and rendering selfless service even as she strives for academic and personal accomplishments. She is an embodiment of Mayfield’s motto: Actions Not Words.

A New Year - A New Smile By: Kenneth Canzoneri DDS
I have been accused of being overzealous with regards to the Dr. Canzoneri importance of a smile! But consider this. When you smile, endorphins are released into your body and endorphins are responsible for making us feel happy - lowering stress levels and effective in pain management. The expression of a smile will not only brighten your day but will brighten the day of people toward you. A smile also makes you look younger. The muscles used for smiling lift the face which gives the appearance of a younger you! It is difficult to smile if one is embarrassed by their teeth. Teeth
that are stained, chipped, crooked and missing can lower one’s self-esteem. As a reconstructive dentist I am very excited about our profession’s ability to improve a smile. When a patient comes into our office their smile is evaluated with multiple techniques including digital imaging, video, and 3D printed models placed on a jaw simulator. A few options for rejuvenating a smile are veneers, crowns, in-office laser whitening, orthodontics, and laser gum reshaping to name a few procedures. Writer Megan Bailey states “A smile can cut through all barriers. It knows no age, gender, color or culture. No matter where you are in the world, what language you speak or social status, a smile will always be understood.” The question to ask yourself is - what do you want your smile to say?

Britton Chiropractic By Emily G. Peters
B
lack belts in jiujitsu, karate, taekwondo—these might not be the first accolades that come to mind when picking your next chiropractor. Yet for Dr. Anthony Britton of Britton Chiropractic, it was this very zeal for martial arts that became the impetus he needed to open his own clinic in Arcadia in 2014. In terms of first-hand testimony for the benefits of chiropractic care, you cannot do better than Britton: this is a man who fought for a living. A sensei once hugely active in the Canadian MMA community, Britton pushed his body to perform at peak levels for international MMA competitions—but found he needed chiropractic treatment to combat the wear and tear. “Before becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic, I was a professional MMA fighter and World Champion martial artist,” said Britton. “It was through the rigors of training and competition that the appreciation for chiropractic care and physical rehabilitation was ingrained in me.” That appreciation led him to complete his Doctor-
ate of Chiropractic program at the Southern California University of Health Sciences in Whittier. Upon completion, he quickly opened his own practice: a family-operated outfit with Britton serving as its chief clinician. With patients ranging from the age of 8 weeks to 104 years, the fighter-turnedhealer emphasized that the gains from chiropractic care are much more expansive than people might think. “The greatest misconception most people have about chiropractic treatment is that we only treat back pain,” said Britton. “We provide nonsurgical, drug-free solutions for a wide variety of conditions such as migraines, vertigo, frozen shoulder, TMJ, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and more.” And regardless of whether the condition springs from a sports injury, car accident, pregnancy, or simply a lifetime of sedentary postures, Britton’s objective is to help his patients live well—without being held back by pain. “We offer the best possible evidence-based chiropractic care, massage, physical therapy, rehabilitation and exercise to our patients,”
Arcadia’s Britton Chiropractic uses nonsurgical, drug-free solutions to treat a wide variety of conditions for optimum wellness.
he said. “We want people to actually ‘enjoy’ going to the doctor’s office—which leads to them staying on track with their treatment goals and achieving a superior recovery.” Britton’s fidelity to helping others isn’t just talk. His unique Fighters Health Chiropractic Program was created specifically to provide affordable treatment to active MMA (mixed martial arts)
athletes. Never one to throw in the towel himself, Britton continues to teach students as head Muay Thai instructor at the UFC gym in Rosemead, and sponsors several athletes and fitness professionals similarly devoted to physical wellness and achievement. “It’s a way to give back to the community,” said Britton, “and help support the health and vitality of individuals who are striving to reach
their goals.” One could argue that healing is realized when the source of pain is identified and treated. Yet Britton avers that the path to true wellness begins with the willful decision to be healthy. “Wellness is a mind-set,” he said, “the choice of an individual to assume responsibility for the quality of his or her life.” Thanks to Britton, that choice comes along with a little

Retired Teachers to Learn More about Agencies That Advocate for Children “Remember to bring your books for court,” is a frequent announcement at California Retired Teachers’ Association #71 meetings (CalRTA #71). Now the Retired Teachers will have a fuller understanding of how the donated books are used when representatives from two agencies that help protect and care for abused or neglected children speak at the retirees’ luncheon meeting on Friday, Feb. 10 at 11:30 a.m. The CalRTA #71 meeting will take place at the Senior Center Building in Arcadia Park (county park), 405 W. Santa Anita Ave., Arcadia, next to the Lawn Bowling Greens. The cost of the luncheon for those who pay at the door is $13. As an alternative to the hot meal, a tuna salad is available. For luncheon reservations, please call John Gera at (626) 2860714 by the Feb. 3 dead-
line.
Two speakers are on the program. Camrin Christensen is the Volunteer Recruitment and Outreach Director of CASA, Los Angeles (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, LA). Her organization uses volunteers to help foster children go through the court system. Currently there are 30,000 children in the dependency system in LA County, and Camrin is heading up CASA’s efforts to triple the number of volunteers needed. Camrin holds degrees in International Affairs, a BA from Wellesley College and an MA from Tufts University. She has worked for an Orange County non-profit that provides at-risk youth with social and educational opportunities. Alma Jimenez is with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. As
a social worker, Alma has been with that department for nearly 24 years. Her degrees are a BA in psychology from UC Berkeley and an MSW (Social Work) from CSU-Long Beach. Alma Jimenez is Children’s Services Administrator at the Shelter Care Program with Edelman’s Children’s Court. In her own words, she “tremendously enjoys improving the lives of foster children,” and will take her audience through a day in the lives of the children with their “special place” in court that provides them with a safe, comfortable place with the donated books playing an important part. Membership in the California Retired Teachers’ Association is open to all retired educators, to current educators, and to any others interested in joining. CalRTA’s motto is “Your partner in pension protections.”

“I
ronic Icons, The Art of Valentin Popov” is on exhibit at the Long Beach Museum of Art (LBMA) through March 19. The majority of the more than 60 works on display combine images of American superheroes and corporate logos such as Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Mickey Mouse, Facebook, etc.) with religious iconic art from the artist’s na-
tive Ukraine. Popov’s works are loaded with irony, satire and subtle humor that will keep your mind turning. Just like the live action 1960s Batman TV series and today’s Family Guy show, the art is satisfying on several levels. Children will enjoy the cartoon nature while adults will love the dark humor and subversion – not to mention the superb artistic quality. The focal point of the paintings in the main room is a large work on aluminum panel entitled “Early Morning,” which is based on the 1817 work “L’Amour et Psyche” by the French painter FrancoisEdouard Picot. Popov’s version shows Batman (as an older Cupid) leaving the bed of his lover after a romantic encounter. His lover is still in repose on the bed, unaware as Batman apparently sneaks off to help Robin in some sort of scuffle evidenced by the Bat Signal on the bedroom wall and a cartoon speech bubble (“HAVE A BELT ON ME CHUM!) combined with a classic “Kapow!” The painting illustrates Popov’s exquisite technique. The “canvas” is covered with crackling as if aged for a few

centuries and Batman’s lover’s face is a finely detailed portraiture itself, while the comic portion of the painting takes on an almost Lichtenstein cartoon-like feel. In other works, Popov inserts the aforementioned super heroes as well as a few corporate symbols in the place of the Virgin Mary, saints, Christ and angels in paintings associated with Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Batman is Popov’s go-to super hero in the majority of the paintings. Unlike the rest of the masked gang, the Caped Crusader has no superpowers, only an identity hiding bat cowl, skin-tight costume, man-made weapons and his keen mental agility keep him one step ahead of the bad guys. Like Jesus and the rest of the saints and angels, he fights for good against evil, protects the weak and is adored by the masses. However, unlike figures in organized religion, St. Batman cannot be corrupted or used for power and control of others; his image cannot be tarnished. His followers will never start a war or persecute non-believers. The exhibit continues with an entire room filled

‘There Is a Time for Everything,’ and This Play is Everything “There is … a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build up.” story and Photos by Vanessa Quintanilla
O
ver the stormy weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing, ”A Time to Kill,” a staged performance. My mother and I, without exaggeration, arrived soaking wet from the torrent. I walked up to the counter to pick up my program and the woman at the counter said, “We were waiting for you.” I felt modest and important by her comment. I never thought she was serious! We dried off, and the ushers guided us inside the theater and found out the woman was serious: the play was being delayed for our arrival! The show must go on … But not without us! Based on John Grisham’s novel, this riveting, courtroom drama has been adapted by Rupert Holmes and directed by Ronnie Marmo. Starring Derek Shaun (as Carl Lee Hailey) and Ian Robert Peterson (as Jake Brigance), “A Time to Kill” tells the story of Carl Lee, an African American father, and Jake, a white attorney who defends Carl Lee in his case against two men who raped Carl’s 10-year-old daughter, Tonya. After Carl takes matters into his own hands, Jake and must determine how he will properly defend Carl in spite of bigotry, death threats and unaccountable witnesses. Consisting of about 18 people, the entire cast and crew did an outstanding job of working professionally through the affecting weather conditions. A small

lead had broken through the set and occasionally a nearby cast member would have to use the old-fashioned, clean-it-with-yourfoot method of drying small patches of water with a towel. This didn't stop the actors from falling out of character. In fact, many of the characters – when necessary – addressed the visible buckets and floor towels on set by incorporating caution into the script. During the 10 minute intermission, a woman in attendance, who had never attended a professional play before, said, “I like how the cast works so fast to create a new scene!” Considering the size of the theater, the set design of this production was simple. Yet, the production couldn't have seemed more complete this way. Using rolling props and
practical structure of material, the cast and crew made seamless and effortless transitions through each scene. At the end of the performance, Derek Shaun came out to personally thank the audience for coming out to watch “A Time to Kill” despite the rain. I shook his hand and congratulated his performance. Held at Theatre 68 in North Hollywood, this weekend will be the final week of performances. I recommend you catch a showing before it’s over. It is a real tearjerker, and could not be more relevant to our society today. An additional evening performance will be held on Jan. 26. And normal times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

There is a newspaper publishing stories about the Chinese classical dance show named Shen Yun Performing Arts, which is held by a New York-based company of expatriate Chinese performers with a so-called mission of “reviving 5,000 years of civilization.� The company, founded in 2006 as a mouthpiece of Falun Gong, is deeply intertwined with the cult. Before you decide to view the show, it is necessary to find out more about Falun Gong and the "Spectacular". 1. Falun Gong is an anti-society cult. Falun Gong, also known as "Falun Dafa", was founded in China in early 1990s. This organization preaches heretical fallacies that are anti-humanity and anti-science, and exercises extreme mental manipulation on followers. It is a cult that seriously harms the society and violates human rights, and a cancer in the body of the modern, civilized society. Over 30 innocent people were killed by mentally deranged practitioners of Falun Gong. Falun Gong advocates "truthfulness, benevolence and tolerance." But in fact, the cult tolerates no opposing views whatsoever. It has, time and again, organized practitioners to besiege ordinary Chinese citizens, media and
government institutions who questioned its fallacies. 2. Falun Gong is a political group that is utterly antiChina and seeks to undermine China-US relations. To protect human rights and the interests of the public, the Chinese Government outlawed Falun Gong cult in accordance with the laws in 1999. But here in the United States, the cult appears as a "religious group" and continues to deceive the public and preach cult messages. In addition, it is also engaged in anti-China political activities aimed at undermining China-US relations. From fabricating stories to attack and vilify the Chinese Government and filing unwarranted lawsuits against Chinese Government institutions and officials to harassing the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in the US and engaging in anti-China propaganda aimed at undermining China's stability and overthrowing the Chinese Government, the cult group has sunk further and become a downright antiChina political group. The Chinese community in the US generally opposes and condemns the cult and its anti-China activities. 3. The so-called "Spectacular" is a tool of cult and anti-China agitprop. The so-called "NT-
DTV" and "Divine Performing Arts" are controlled by Falun Gong cult. They have been staging the so-called "spectaculars" in the US in recent years in the name of promoting Chinese culture and showcasing the oriental charm. But in fact, tacky taste and low artistic value characterized the "spectaculars", which were also filled with cult messages and implied attacked on the Chinese Government. Clearly, the so-called "divine spectaculars" is not a cultural performance but a political tool of Falun Gong to preach cult messages, spread antiChina propaganda, increase its own influence and raise fund. Such show denigrates and distorts the Chinese culture, and deceives, makes fool of and even brings harm to the audience. Quite a number of US media also carried articles about what the so-called "spectaculars" really was. The Chinese culture, with its long history and rich variety, has long been popular and loved by the American public. When endorsing or appreciating events and performances in celebration of the Chinese New Year, the public need to stay away from the so-called "divine spectacular" of the Falun Gong organization so as to avoid being deceived and used by the cult.

Lancers Win 3-1 on Senior Night Six seniors celebrate final home game with win over St. Joseph Article and Photo by Christian Romo
A
fter conceding a goal in the sixteenth minute, La Salle keeper Lauren Veneri (1) gathered her back line and sealed the goalpoasts. Shot after shot came to the senior captain, but Veneri saved all of them, leading her defense to a crucial shutdown of Saint Joseph. “We executed really well today,” said Veneri. “My defense, I couldn’t be more proud of them.” Veneri’s performance and some late offense carried the Lancers (13-4-2, 3-1 league) over the visiting Saint Joseph Jesters (2-133, 2-2), 3-1, Tuesday night at Kohorst Field. The two teams entered the game tied for second in the Del Rey League, and La Salle’s win may prove vital to their playoff aspirations as they finish the season with four straight road matches. But for Veneri and the five other seniors on the team, their last home game meant more than just a league win. “It’s a little bit emotional,” Veneri said,
“we knew it was going to be when we walked in, but I couldn’t have asked for a better final home game.” Senior Clarissa Yang (5), who scored a hat trick in her previous game against Bishop Montgomery, scored the go-ahead goal in the 47th minute on a breakaway run down the middle of the field. “I kinda just saw a ball laced in the box, and I just tried to go for it. I was pretty relieved to score a goal on senior night,” she said. Though having only joined the team last year after transferring, Yang said her final match felt bittersweet. “I’m just looking forward to ending my soccer career around people I enjoy being around, with a team that works really well together,” she said. After anchoring the midfield in their final home match, seniors Melissa Mariscal (6) and Kathleen Brady (15) shared their favorite memory: “Definitely the team dinners we had before every home game,” said Brady. Mariscal also
sponded: “Last year when we beat Bishop Amat at home. That was pretty cool.” Snapping a 16-game losing streak to their league rival was also Veneri’s favorite memory. “The win against Bishop Amat, I’ll take that with me forever,” she said.

enjoyed being with her teammates during pregame meals. “We would have pasta and bread, it was always so fun to be with them. We never got tired of each other,” said Mariscal. Analise Guzman (18) said she would miss playing with her teammates:
“It kinda sucks to know we won’t have any home games with this team…it was really fun and I love this team.” Mariscal also felt sad, saying: “before it hadn’t really hit me, but now that it ended, it’s like, wow, this is the last time we’re ever going to play on this field…I’m
never going to get to feel the energy of the crowd anymore.” Madison Burgh (2) helped steady the Lancer back line after the early goal, keeping the Jester attack quiet in the second half. When asked about her favorite memory, she re-
La Salle coach Sheima Berenji had a special connection with this senior class, watching many of them develop since they were first-years. “They brought leadership to this team. They brought chemistry. That’s what I’m going to miss most about these girls,” she said. “I feel like it’s a sisterhood here, and those seniors bring the sisterhood to the field.” The Lancers will finish the season playing for a high playoff seed and, if they can pull off another win against Bishop Amat, a league title. But despite their success, Veneri just wants to enjoy the moment. “I don’t want the season to wind down yet,” she said.
